But "Downton Abbey" is "one of our favorite shows. And when a show is that good, we immediately stop watching it, because it's heartbreaking when we try to keep up with the show because our schedules are prohibitive."

"So we stop watching it and turn off our eyes and ears to any spoilers and when everything is said and done we take the box set on vacation. We just finished watching 'Friday Night Lights' and I'm so glad we did it that way. Invariably with our lifestyle, we would have missed half a season. So with 'Downton Abbey' we said we'll get the box set and watch it next to a fire somewhere in the mountains of California."
